Hollinger Playoff Progess(finally)
Well, it took me a bit to realize that the players that are trying standardize in the Hollinger formula would be primarily(if not only) the players involved in the NLSC Dynasties and not necessarily, each and every player in each of the 16 teams for every NLSC playoff run.
So, two things(until I become a bit more ambitious and masochistic):
1) there will two columns of PER: One is the player's PER standardized according to the rest of his teammates during that playoff run.
2) The other PER will be standardized according to all players submitted from the first submission and onward, in other words, the PER will always be dynamic, but due to the law of averages, after an extended amount of submissions, the standard will level out.
Here's what's nice about the Hollinger formula, according to John Hollinger himself:
I've set it up so that the league average, every season, is 15.00, which produces sort of a handy reference guide:
A Year For the Ages: 35.0
Runaway MVP Candidate: 30.0
Strong MVP Candidate: 27.5
Weak MVP Candidate: 25.0
Bona fide All-Star: 22.5
Borderline All-Star: 20.0
Solid 2nd option: 18.0
3rd Banana: 16.5
Pretty good player: 15.0
In the rotation: 13.0
Scrounging for minutes: 11.0
Definitely renting: 9.0
On next plane to Yakima: 5.0
So, low and behold, for your enjoyment,
Honor Glow's 2006-07 Laker Dynasty playoff run:
Let me know if you have any questions, also remember that I'm looking forward to your playoff runs and need more data. There's a lot more that I need to do to get this side-Project rolling.
RIght now, for this weekend, I have to make this scalable to start accepting other "Dynaster" playoff stats so keep a look out for more updates...I have conquered!
would be nice if 2k series was on PC....but alas, it's not to be....
